The
Scimitar MkII Hover Combat Vehicle is an upgraded version of the venerable
Scimitar Medium Hover Tank, which has been in the armies of the various
House Lords for well over a hundred years. The MKII not only increased
the vehicle's top speed, but by trading out the heavier autocannon of
the original design, it was able to increase the number of weapons on
the craft, as by the inclusion of five energy weapons - unusual on any
vehicle.
